Wednesday night’s North Carolina-Duke matchup was filled with celebrity appearances, including former President Barack Obama. Of course, most of the attention was to see Zion Williamson, but unfortunately, the soon-to-be lottery pick injured himself 30 seconds into the game, after his foot ripped through his shoe when attempting a move.

Williamson would miss the rest of the game, and UNC would go on to a double digit win.
Obama, who was sitting near courtside, was caught on camera saying ‘his shoe broke’.

The report for Williamson is that he has a mild knee sprain and he is out indefinitely.
